Another little Princess…
My oldest step-daughter Caity just found out a few days ago that she is having another girl! 🙂 I admit, I was hoping for a boy, since my husband has three daughters and soon to be two granddaughters, but having another girl will be easier for her since she already has little girl stuff. So another tiny princess for me to love and spoil rotten….YAY!!! I love my little Bellaboo (my name for her…her name is Bella) and now I’m getting really excited for little Sophie to get here. Yes, her name is going to be Sophie….I LOVE IT!! Bella and Sophie….my two little sweetpeas. I don’t feel or look old enough to be a grandma, but I have to tell you, I truly love it. The first time I held Bella after she was born, and spent three hours rocking her and humming and singing to her….the feeling is just undescribable. She had me wrapped around her little finger from that moment on. Would you like to see a pic of my Bellaboo?? I’d love to show you!
Staying warm during Snowmageddon 2011!!
Family Christmas party in the Christmas dress her Mimi (Me) bought her
Isn’t she just…..delicious??? LOL! I swear, every time I get my hands on her I have to restrain myself from squeezing her half to death!
In other news……yeah, really not too much going on. I may be flying back to AZ at the end of February/beginning of March and staying for about 10 days and then driving my granny back to Indiana. She’s down there right now. She always goes down after the family Christmas get-together and spends 2-3 months so she doesn’t have to deal with the really bad weather and gets to spend time with my mom and Aunt Pam. Granny and Aunt Pam drove down to AZ in my granny’s car after the family Christmas party in Evansville at the beginning of January, and now my mom is thinking of flying me down to AZ to drive granny home when she’s ready to go home. I hope I get to!! I’d get to see my mom and sister again, and get to spend a lot of one-on-one time with my granny when we drive home. In case I’ve never mentioned it before, my granny is my favorite person in the entire universe! She helped raise me, since my parents were only 18 when I was born. She taught me to walk, potty-trained me, took care of me every day while mom and dad were at work. I was not only her first grandchild, I was also like another daughter to her. We have a very special bond, and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for her. Want to see a picture of her too???
Here we are at the family Christmas party
I adore this woman. She is a huge piece of my heart!
Also, I’m going to San Francisco at the end of May….WOO HOO!!! A good friend of mine, Jennifer, used to live in California….she now lives in Illinois. Anyway, San Francisco is her favorite place in the entire world, and she’s been dying for her and I to take a girl’s trip out there so she could show me around and do all the fun stuff together. She called about a month ago and told me that due to her booking so many flights through Southwest on her Southwest card, she now has a free ticket AND she still has unused ticket credits, so she basically has two free tickets….so we’re going!! All I have to pay for is my part of the hotel charges, rental car, food and spending money. I asked hubby about it and he said absolutely!! So as my anniversary present (our anniversary is in June) he’s going to give me spending money and pay for my half of the hotel and rental car charges. I’m so excited!!!! I’ve been to California before, but never San Francisco, and I’m SO excited to go to Alcatraz and Fisherman’s Wharf and see all the other gorgeous little towns around there. Jen has already sent me a bunch of pictures of other places we’re gonna go….I can’t wait!! We’re also going to walk…not drive!….across the Golden Gate Bridge. That way we can take our time, stop when we want and take pictures. And when we go to Alcatraz, we’re gonna do the nighttime tour. We’re also gonna visit a winery or two….lol. I’m all for free taste-tests! 😉
So far today I’ve gotten the kitchen and living room cleaned, had my breakfast, and now I’m gonna go get dressed and go exercise. I’ve been slothful the past three days, Tuesday and Wednesday due to the weather, yesterday just because, so I’m getting back on the treadmill today and gonna walk and jog my little heart out…lol. I’m glad they have nice big televisions at the gym so I can at least watch the soaps while I exercise….and of course, I NEVER go the gym without my iPod!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!! Much love to you all!
